“I’m going to kick your ass tonight ladies and gentlemen,” promised Dave Grohl at the very start of Foo Fighters’ headline gig at the London Stadium. The big, crunching All My Life and a ferocious No Son Of Mine soon proved he meant business, with the band going on to deliver a pummelling 150-minute set.
A lot has changed for Foo Fighters since they last properly toured the UK six years ago. Their 2021 album Medicine At Midnight saw the urgent rock and rollers dabble with slinking David Bowie-inspired dance while 2023’s But Here We Are was a return to rugged roots, following the deaths of their drummer Taylor Hawkins, and Grohl’s mum Virginia.
